What is the job outlook for nurses

Despite job shortages over the last few years due to the slow economy, nursing is still a great health care career. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics projects growth of 26% in nursing jobs between 2010 and 2020. Which is much faster than the projected growth for all jobs.

What are growth drivers for nursing jobs

Growth in nursing jobs will be driven by new health technologies, more insured individuals, greater focus on prevention, more home healthcare, and a greater demand for healthcare services as baby boomers age. The Affordable Care ACT (ACA) and healthcare models like accountable care organizations (ACO) provide new opportunities for nurses. The ACA will add 32 million previously uninsured individuals to the healthcare pipeline. Your nursing education will not go to waste.
